The Stress Of Being 'Too Young/ Too Old'

Hello everyone!

So I am going to be a little ranty today on the ever so popular topic for people my age of either being too young or too old to do certain things they want to. So that this blog post is not long and drawn out, I am just going to tell you my top thing that really "grind my gears" (Family Guy fans will get that reference!!) but if you'd like to hear more on this topic then I can do a Stress Of Being Young Part 2 if you'd like - let me know in the comments.

What "grinds my gears?" I cannot drive. Granted, the legal age for driving is obviously there for a reason and for the majority of people that's a very good thing because otherwise everywhere would be chaos but it annoys me that I have to use either public transport or (much more likely) get a lift with older friends or parents to see my friends, go to town or go and see my boyfriend. Sometimes I bike to my boyfriend's house but I'm not always in the mood to cycle that far!! It annoys me because I am very mature and it also confuses me because I am old enough to babysit a very demanding little baby (of 10 months) and I am old enough to have 4 independent jobs that I fought for myself. I just want more independence.

 Being 16 - there's constant confusion as to whether you're adult enough or not. Sometimes my Mum says to me "Emily, you're only a child!" or "Emily, you're too young, you're not mature enough!" but then sometimes she says "Emily, you're so grown up!" or "Emily, you're 16, you're an adult!". Granted, my Mum uses these against me, for instance if I don't have time to clean the kitchen or take the bins out I am "too young and immature" but if I make tea, clear it all away and sterilise all the baby bottles for her I am saint of the house and "very mature".

If you are my age, does this confuse you too? Because, it really frustrates me a lot!!

Thankyou all for listening to my little rant, I love you all lots and please let me know your thoughts and feelings on this subject! I will see you in my next one!

Xo's Emily.
